Overfinch Range Rovers - Are these classified as modified ?

[AMDB9]

Are all Overfinch models classified as 'modified' for insurance purposes or does OVERFINCH classify as a manufacturer like Alpina is for BMW?

Anyone know?

[MrsFallon]

I think but don't hold me to this that they are classed as modified.

[Aeroresh]

Modified 100%. Theyre not manufactures in their own right like Alpina.

modified

I had my L322 'face lifted' to 2007 supercharged 'look' and that was considered modified and had to change my insurer - so beware of any mods

[AMDB9]

Wow these must be a proper bh to insure I guess....was considering a new RRS Overfinch but may give it a miss due to Insurance headaches now...

[paintman]

Why not ring a couple of insurers - preferably those actually that know what a Land Rover is - & ask for a price?

[AMDB9]

I have checked with my insurers (multi car policy) and it comes up with a stupid price...have emailed Overfinch directly to see what their suggestions are in terms of insurance etc.

I never had any issues with mine.....its basically a range rover with a bodykit and replacement wheels.

Having said that I think all RRs are becoming pricy to insure due to thefts.

Either it's not a real Overfinch then, or you don't know what you're driving.
A body kit and fancy wheels doth not an Overfinch make.

For the last few years that's all they've been I think.

[DKL]

That's my understanding. Gone are the days of 6 litre Chevy engines, uprated suspension and red dials in the classics.
But then OF are a completely different company run by different people too.

[anonymous-user]

Oh well. Live'n'learn. Thought they still did tuning too.

[A.J.M]

Down to remaps and exhausts now, tweaking the supercharger pulley etc but gone are the engine swap days.

Modern LR engines have came a long way from the old 3.9s and 4.6s of the past.

[Charliesum]

when i had mine they recommended national farmers mutual who were very very competitve....rediculously cheap compared to other insurers.
this was a few years ago but it worked for both my chevvy powered overfinch and a later 580 s

Mine's an Overfinch and I didn't have a problem at all with Insurance

[grand cherokee]

it very much depends on insurance companies - some run a mile when the work 'modification' is used

when I had my old L322 face lifted to 2007 'look' my insurers refused to cover the car - it was simply a bumper/lights change done by a main dealer but they did not want to know

no logic/rhyme nor reason - but that's insurance companies

to be honest I now use a broker (member on here) and get a far better service and price - thanks Nick

It's just a matter of picking a specialist rather than the likes of go compare.

When I'm asked if my defender is modified I ask for their email so they don't get cramp but it's still under £250 fully comp
